Tuileries Garden, Public garden in 1st arrondissement, France.
Description
The Tuileries Garden is a formal garden in the first arrondissement of Paris stretching between the Louvre Museum and Place de la Concorde. Wide gravel paths run parallel and intersect in geometric patterns, flanked by low hedges and lawns dotted with bronze and marble statues.
History
Catherine de Medici commissioned the garden in 1564 as a private royal space. André Le Nôtre redesigned it later in the 17th century in formal French style and gradually opened it to the public.
Culture
The name comes from tile kilns that once stood on this land before gardening began. Today visitors sit on green metal chairs along the main axis and watch children play or strollers pass through the chestnut tree avenues.
Practical
The garden opens daily in the morning and closes in the evening between 7 PM and 11 PM depending on season. Several entrances along Rue de Rivoli and from the Louvre plaza allow access from different sides.
Did you know?
Children have sailed miniature wooden boats in the central basin for over 170 years. Visitors can rent deck chairs and carry them to any spot in the garden to settle in sun or shade.
